Weekly Bulletin
The FIM provides a Newsletter called FIM Weekly Bulletin, which is a selection of the mathematics seminars and lectures taking place at ETH Zurich and at the University of Zurich. It is sent by e-mail every Tuesday during the semester, or can be accessed here on this website at any time.

Abstract
In this talk we will see a brief history of sharp Fourier restriction theory and some recent developments related to Fourier restriction estimates on spheres. We will discuss the problem of finding sharp constants for such inequalities, as well as the questions of existence and classification of extremizers of these estimates.

Abstract
We consider random walks on the homogeneous space SL_2(R)/SL_2(Z) induced by the action of a Zariski-dense subgroup consisting of matrices with algebraic entries. I will present a recent joint work with Timothée Bénard where we showed the following. The random walk equidistributes in law unless it is trapped in a finite orbit. Moreover, the convergence is fast unless the starting point is close to a finite orbit or high in the cusp.

Abstract
We present results pertaining to selected inverse problems associated with seismology on Earth, Mars and Saturn. We focus on geometrical or travel time data originating from the propagation of singularities and the spectra corresponding with normal modes. For terrestrial or rocky planets we highlight recent insights with generic anisotropic elasticity, and for gas giants we reveal the accommodation of the equations of state all the way up to their boundaries. We briefly touch upon whether information on uniqueness of inverse problems is encoded in the data.
